If the customer wants meatballs, I give 'em meatballs. I cook up these
meatballs, however, only after I advise this customer that I *can* do
filet mignon and that the customer almost certainly prefers the filet.
If not filet, then I offer a ribeye.
Often times, what we need to do is give the customer a cost-benefit
analysis to make our case, and the case of the end user.
Cheers.
